Ella's Edge

Sorry, toads I didn't mean to disappear. I am taking a few courses online. I will try today to make a come back and pick several prompts and post. I hope to regain my footing in the Imaginary garden. I have missed all of you! I will be back to play leap frog, I mean catch up! There have been so many amazing prompts, I can't wait to jump back in.

My father co owned a Texaco station, by day he wore a star and by night he showed them on the silver screen. He was a part time projectionist. My parents actually met at a movie theater.

The magic, the escape, being entertained, enlightened, or scared, can be yours. when you get your ADMIT ONE ticket.

You can do this either way. Go to this Movie Quote site and use a quote in your poem OR you can use the title of a movie in your poem. The poem does not have to be about the movie, but it can be if you want. So, grab your popcorn, your favorite candy, a beverage and pick your movie or quote. Frankly toads, I do give a damn! And now it's time for the show!
